Stolen in Co Armagh, N.Ireland

[CorvusCorax]

This from the police today: Police in Armagh are investigating the theft of a horse from a stable at the Annavale Road, Keady on Thursday morning. The mare, which is black and white and approximately 14 hands high, was last seen at around 1.30am on Thursday. When the owner checked the stable later that morning, at 6.45am, the animal, valued at £10,000, was found to be missing.
Police investigating the theft would like to hear from anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in the area or who may have any information to contact them at Armagh on 0845 600 8000. Anonymous information can also be passed to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.

The Sunday World ran a piece about this, apparently a group of Travellers came along and asked the owner if they could buy the mare and she said "no".
While on the yard they took a shine to the owner's lurcher, who was making a fuss and barking, then asked to buy her, the owner said OK.
They came back a few nights later for the mare - "burglar alarm" now deactivated.
The mare is called Gypsy Queen and is in foal, apparently.

...any pics of the mare ?

No doubt it will more than likely go down south or be sold over the water .

Was trying to copy something over from their website but they don't seem to put a lot of their stories online.
Was a big cobby type with a long mane/forelock, distinctively marked piebald, mostly white with a big black mark on her face. The reporter said it was a rare breed but I would be no expert on that - and he didn't mention which.
Apparently owner's hubby is going up and down the country putting the word out.
Bloody sneaky!

*ohhh just thought, a new colored horse has appeared at the stonebridge roundabout on the portadown road (heading into porty from armagh) its in the field on the left just as you get off the roundabout...
cant remember its markings, but it was coloured! otherwise you may have to check with cavan and goresbridge that they dont sell a horse of that discription.


my friends mare was stolen a year ago, you may remember her, from tandragee, pony was called tizzy, was a chestnut mare and was NOT a novice pony, as was used for games and sjai. mare found 6 months later at one of millbrooks jumping nights when orignal owner happended to be there, pony was being ridden by some numpty who hadnt realsied that she was stolen!!
